Chapter 139 The Rule of Yonghui
"The third one I will talk about is Li Zhi first. This is about the performance of the four princes during their period, but I will briefly say a few words about Li Zhi's achievements after he ascended the throne."

"After Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty under his management not only prospered, but also accomplished feats such as the surrender of Goguryeo that even Li Shimin could not accomplish."

"Li Zhi was very good at governing the country. He was perfect in civil and military affairs. Li Zhi achieved it all. Not only did he remove excessive labor and return land to the people, realizing the "Government of Yonghui", he was also able to destroy the Western Turks and Baekje. Destroy Goguryeo."

"During the reign of Li Zhi, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest. Under the leadership of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty succeeded the rule of Zhenguan, followed by the era of Wu Zetian and Li Longji. During the decades of Li Zhi's reign, the Tang Dynasty's Not only has national strength further developed, but it has rarely suffered defeat in foreign wars, and great progress has been made in politics, economy, culture and many other aspects."

"Judging from these achievements, Li Zhi is still very powerful. The only shortcoming is probably that he allowed Wu Zetian to take power smoothly, which paved the way for the subsequent massacre of the Li and Tang royal families. However, as an emperor, Li Zhi has actually Well done.”

"But to be honest, it is better for Li Zhi to delegate power to Wu Zetian than to the eunuchs. Moreover, he has always been able to suppress Wu Zetian and control the court situation. He is by no means a weak "soft rice man"."

"The only thing he did wrong was to underestimate Wu Zetian's political ambition. Of course he couldn't believe that Wu Zetian would abolish his son and seize his son's rights. This operation cannot be blamed on Li Zhi. There has been no such operation in history before. How could he be on guard?"

"His right and wrong should really be evaluated by future generations, and in the evaluation, allowing Wu Zetian to become emperor is indeed a major shortcoming of his."

Yu Qian: Although Li Zhi is generous, kind, talented, and a loyal king, he has no enterprising spirit and is too indecisive.

Liu Bowen: This is better than many emperors!
Zhao Kuangyin: Although he created the "Government of Yonghui", it was only a continuation of the political and economic system established by Li Shimin. This is not how the credit is calculated.

"If Li Ke can't do it, who should we appoint? Of course it's Li Zhi, because Li Zhi is the grandson of Changsun Wuji."

"As Mr. Sima said, if Li Ke is appointed, there may be another Xuanwu Sect incident."

"Li Zhi can be the heir, and it is indispensable for Changsun Wuji's promotion."

"For the sake of political power, Changsun Wuji cannot be ignored. When Li Shimin chose the prince, he had to take into account the views of Changsun Wuji and the Guanlong Group he led."

"Yes, Li Shimin's final choice of Li Zhi has something to do with Changsun Wuji and the Guanlong Group."

Fan Zhongyan: Let me give you an idea. Li Zhi's achievements are, how should I put it, completely influenced by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? Fighting foreigners is what every emperor has to do. The expansion of the territory also has the traces left by Li Shimin, but from I think this is what all emperors should do. It's just that there are too few emperors with meritorious deeds in the dynasty, which makes everyone think that this emperor did a good job. I think Ms. Zhang's This should be the reason for future generations.

Zhu Di: What do you mean you never thought that Wu Zetian would seize power?Did he really not expect that?Isn't he indecisive?There is indeed one thing that he did not do. The only time Qian Gang acted arbitrarily was when he made Wu Zetian the queen. Other than that, he was quite indecisive in his actions!
Kangxi: Emperor Yongle is right!What I didn't expect, it sounded nice, but it still confused the woman.He even realized that he had the intention to abolish the queen, and because Wu Zetian knew it, Wu Zetian made Li Zhi take it back after crying. Even Shangguan Yi, who wrote the edict to abolish the queen, was executed by the clan, and there were many more. wash?

Liu Bang: As of today, there are a few good emperors and a few trash emperors. This is an obvious problem, and there are very few wise emperors.

"Okay, change the topic and let me continue talking!"

Qin Shihuang: What you said makes sense. Isn’t this what an emperor should do to fight foreigners and recover the earth?In this regard, one should indeed be called a Mingjun, but as Miss Zhang said, she felt that this should be a great feat. Because of this, it can be seen that in so many dynasties, there were very few good emperors.

"The reason why the Li family was able to become the final winner is that, to be honest, the Guanlong Group played a big role. This resulted in the Guanlong Group being very powerful in the early Tang Dynasty."

Cao Cao: Why can't you understand?We have become history, shouldn’t we leave it to future generations to evaluate us?If something is done well, it is good, and if it is not done well, it is not good. This is "I don't want you to think it is right alone, but everyone in the future generations to think it is right or not." What is the evaluation of this? Let's go on and let's talk directly about the prince. This piece, the emperor's piece, cannot be counted among the four princes for comparison.

Sima Guang: If Li Shimin chooses Li Ke, then the Guanlong Group headed by Changsun Wuji will definitely embarrass Li Ke in the future, or even come to Xuanwumen again.

"The ancients and modern people have two understandings and two views, because we know the history of 5000 years and what all dynasties did." Queen Xu: This achievement is not bad. I can understand it, but for these few years An accomplished emperor and ministers just couldn't understand it. It was very simple for them.

"After the fall of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Li Shimin actually wanted to make Li Ke the crown prince. With this idea, Li Shimin had already eliminated the idea that the previous dynasty could not establish it, but he could not withstand the reluctance of his eldest grandson and all the ministers who followed the dragon. Ah, especially the eldest grandson, he is as black as he can be, and he often speaks ill of Li Ke in Li Shimin's ears, saying that he can't let Li Ke succeed to the throne."

"Yes, with a history of 5000 years, there are many dynasties and few Ming emperors. So in your opinion, it is just a matter of what should be done. In our opinion, Li Zhi's contribution will be considered well done by future generations. !”

Liu Che: Li Er is no good. Why is he so easy to talk to? Is the eldest grandson the emperor or you?What about majesty?
Wu Zetian: The power of Guanlong Group cannot be underestimated!At this time, Li Shimin had not yet taken power.

Zhu Yuanzhang: An emperor who is too benevolent, indecisive and indecisive is a taboo for a monarch.

Sima Guang: Letting a woman ascend the throne is indeed a taboo and makes people dislike it.

Liu Xiu: I don’t agree with Miss Zhang’s ranking. Li Zhike doesn’t have any ability among the princes. The one who is capable is his uncle, not as good as Li Tai!

Cao Cao: I also think this ranking is wrong. This is entirely due to my uncle and his profit from being a fisherman. His talent is not as good as that of Li Tai!

Liu Bang: And he has a kind and gentle personality, which is not what an emperor should have.
